is no immediate plan for a liver transplantation. Hernia repair with mesh is associated with lower recurrence rate, but with higher surgical site infection when compared to hernia correction with conventional fascial suture [17]. There is no consensus on the best abdominal wall layer in which the mesh should be placed: Onlay, sublay, or underlay. Many studies have demonstrated several advantages of the laparoscopic umbilical herniorrhaphy in cirrhotic patients compared with open surgical treatment.
Conclusion
Umbilical hernia repair can be approached in a variety of MIS approaches includ-
ing IPOM, TAPP, retro-rectus, and component separation. The use of mesh
appears to lower recurrence rates. An MIS approach is favored with increasing
hernia size and patient BMI.

Introduction

The effective repair of ventral and incisional hernias is a challenging and dynamic eld that continues to advance with research and innovation. Primary suture repair of ventral hernias has now largely been abandoned due to high recurrence rates. Prosthetic mesh placement is now the standard of care for all but the smallest ven­tral hernias. Mesh placement has been described above, below, and within each layer of the abdomen. Intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) technique places a mesh within the peritoneal cavity and below the peritoneum. Once implanted, the mesh forms an inammatory reaction with the peritoneum, creating a durable and tensile prosthesis. Literature has shown IPOM to be an efcacious repair with reduced complications. Here we discuss the origins of the IPOM as well our experience and technique using the IPOM repair.

History

Laparoscopic ventral and incisional hernia repair was introduced in 1993 with the ndings of LeBlanc and Booth who described laparoscopic IPOM [1]. The adhe­sions were reduced laparoscopically, and a mesh was placed, bridging the defect with a generous overlap of mesh on the lateral margins. This was a marked improve­ment from the open technique, because it avoided an extensive soft tissue dissec­tion. In addition to this, the technique had a relatively short learning curve, low postoperative complication rate, and attractive long-term durability. Many patients developed seromas in the unclosed hernia sacs. These often resolved but in some

cases remained as chronic cavities or developed infection. Additionally, patients occasionally develop an anterior bulge mitigating perceived cosmesis [2, 3].
To address these issues, some surgeons advocated reapproximation of the hernia edges before mesh placement. Seromas would still form in the hernia cavity, but by approximating the hernia edges, an additional tissue barrier was created between the mesh and seroma cavity. In addition, the mesh was even further dislocated from the supercial subdermal layers, theoretically lowering the risk of mesh involvement with the skin or infection. Another signicant advantage of defect closure was res­toration of natural abdominal contour resulting in improved perceived cosmesis [47].
Studies assessing laparoscopic ventral hernia repair show that recurrence rates usually range from 4.2 to 16.7% [6, 8, 9]. In some literature recurrence rates can be as low as 0–2.9% [10, 11]. Data also shows that IPOM provides patients with many of the expected benets of minimally invasive surgery. Hospital length of stay is shortened, and patients have less postoperative pain.
Research has also specically addressed reapproximation of hernia edges. In 2011, Novitsky etal. published a “shoelacing” technique for ventral hernia repair and reapproximation of the hernia edges. They described their technique in 47 patients in a period of 32months with no wound-related complications, no seromas, no infections, and zero recurrences in a mean follow-up of 16.2months [12]. Some published data are not as optimistic. A recent study found that approximation of hernia edges before mesh placement did not reduce recurrence, postoperative pain, or surgical site infection, when compared with a bridging mesh applied in IPOM technique [11].
At the Texas Endosurgery Institute, we have more than 25years of experience performing laparoscopic ventral hernia repair, likely representing one of the largest series worldwide. In 2004 we published a scientic paper including 384 patients. Ninety-six percent of the procedures were completed laparoscopically. We had 11 (2.9%) recurrences during a mean follow-up of 47.1months [7]. Currently, in our database and ready to publish, we have 1107 patients. We have reviewed 699 (63%) laparoscopic ventral and incisional hernia repairs and 408 (37%) laparoscopic umbilical hernia repairs. The mean follow-up has been 52.3months. We had 23 (2%) recurrence cases, 16 of them in incisional and ventral hernias and 7in umbili­cal hernias. Eight of these patients had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We found 17 (1.5%) with seromas, all of them treated conservatively.

Technique

Preoperative Management andPatient Selection
All patients undergo routine preoperative laboratory studies, complete blood count, blood chemistries, chest radiography, electrocardiogram, and CT scan. Preparation for surgery includes preoperative antibiotics and formal bowel preparation, if the bowel is signicantly involved in hernia and the patient is not obstructed.

Procedure

General anesthesia is used, and nasogastric tube and Foley catheter are placed. The patient is placed in supine position and rmly attached to the table to allow changes in position such as Trendelenburg, reverse Trendelenburg, and side-to-side rotation. We prefer to secure the patient to the table with tape at the shoulder level. Sequential compression devices are applied to the legs. Video monitors are positioned at the foot of the table or at a place convenient for viewing by all of the surgical team.
Insufation is obtained with a Veress needle, usually from a non-midline loca­tion. The initial 5mm ports are placed lateral to the rectus muscles. The adhesions opposite the initial ports are carefully taken down, and additional ports are placed as adhesions are cleared. Each of these additional trocars should be considered as a port through which a stapler or laparoscope can be placed. Therefore, any port can be upsized to 10–12-mm trocars when needed. Bleeding must be meticulously con­trolled and bowel injury avoided as the anterior abdominal wall is being cleared. The hernia defect is localized, and the adhesions and hernia sac are dissected before starting to close the defect (Figs.13.1 and 13.2).
We close the defect with strong suture, even if only a partial closure is possible. In our practice, this is usually accomplished percutaneously, using the Carter­Thomason (Inlet Medical, Inc., Eden Prairie, MN, USA) suture passer with place­ment of #1 (PDS) polydioxanone (Ethicon, Somerville, NJ, USA) as individual and horizontal sutures 1.5–2cm apart (Figs.13.3 and 13.4).
Once the sutures are placed in the edges of the defect, the pneumoperitoneum pressure is lowered to 6mmHg; this allows for easier closure of the defect with decreased tension. The corners of the defect are tied rst, while the assistant holds tension on the middle sutures to approximate the defect. This facilitates large defect closure without tearing the fascia (Figs.13.5 and 13.6). Almost all defects can be

closed by this method; however, there are circumstances where the defect is not closed, such as a rigid abdomen or in loss of abdominal domain. After defect clo­sure, pneumoperitoneum is reestablished to 12mmHg.
A mesh is selected to cover as many defects as possible and to provide a mini­mum overlap of 3–5cm circumferentially around each side of the defect (Figs.13.7 and 13.8). Although one piece of mesh is ideal, it may not be possible in all instances, especially those abdomens where extensive, multiple, or widely spaced defects are present. The mesh is afxed over the defect with staples or tacks and, in some cases, transfascial circumferential sutures using nonabsorbable suture (2-0 Prolene) (Figs.13.9, 13.10, 13.11, and 13.12).
All trocar sites greater than 5mm should be carefully and completely closed and the abdomen desufated after covering the mesh with omentum. The omentum serves as barrier to separate the mesh from the bowel and to allow adhesions to

preferentially form with omentum rather than bowel. Operating times vary with severity of adhesions, number of defects, bowel involvement, and need for concur­rent procedures.

Postoperative Management

The postoperative course is relatively straightforward. The nasogastric tube and Foley catheter are removed in the recovery room in most instances. We fully explain to patients that seroma formation is common and watch this expectantly without drainage. The patient is given a diet when bowel sounds are present. Patients are

allowed to go home when they are afebrile, their wounds are clean, a regular diet is tolerated, and only minimal pain is present.
Patients are routinely seen back in the clinic by the operating surgeon at 2weeks, 1month, 3months, 6months, and yearly thereafter.

Complications

The most common complication encountered is the seroma formation. Many patients develop a small, sterile uid collection that does not require further treat­ment and eventually reabsorbs. Another commonly described complication is the
13 Bridging Versus Closing theDefect During MIS Ventral Hernia Repair

conversion to an open procedure. Many times this is secondary to poor visualization from dense adhesions and in some cases from profound bowel dilatation.
Hernia repair is associated with a signicant risk of enterotomy, and complica­tions related to a missed enterotomy can have devastating effects. Multiple adhe­sions or prior abdominal surgery increases the risk of bowel injury. Other described complications include trocar site infection, prolonged ileus, urinary tract infection, pseudo-obstruction, and pulmonary problems. Less commonly, patients can also have recurrent pain and suture-site neuralgia. Mesh infections are relatively rare and are usually associated with enterotomy.
Conclusions
Overall, in our experience, we have consistently noted decreased complications
and morbidity with the IPOM repair using reapproximation of hernia edges.
Patients are well satised with repair cosmesis, and from our data, the repair has
an enviably low recurrence rate.
In our experience, reapproximation of hernia edges during IPOM technique appears to reduce recurrence and provide improved cosmesis. Our data from the past 25years is one of the largest case series worldwide that clearly supports closure and reapproximation during IPOM ventral hernia repair.
